A Good One,

Mr.. James Marsh, of Aten. Neb., after
an experience of four years, in using and
selling Chamberlain's Pain balm, says:
1T is the best and most reliable IMMINENT
ever produced" A fifty cent bottle of 1t
will accomplish more, in the treatment
of rheumatism, lame back or severe
sprains than five dollars invested in any
other way. A great many cases have
been cured by it, after being given up as
hopelessly incurable. 1t promptly re-
lieves the pain in all cases. Sold by
Giles & Shepperd.

School children will learn much faster
if they are kept comfortable and kept in
perfect health. Very few escape severe
coughs and colds during the winter
months. 1t is an easy matter to avoid
the discomforts and distress of coughs
and colds by using Chamberlains Cough
Remedy. 1t is by far the best treatment
ever brought INTO general use for coughs,
colds, and hoarseness When the first
symptoms OF a cold appear, use Chamber
lain's Cough remedy and the cold can be
broken up at once. Sold by Giles &
Shepherd.

Hoarseness is the first symptom of

OUR VISITORS.

Among the many visitors with whose
presence our city is honored during these
carnival times the ones attracting the most
special interest are the gentlemen compoS-
ing the party known as the Richmond eX-
cursiOniStS. These gentlemen are promi-
nent capitalists seeking investment for
their money in the Northwestern metropo-
lis. Among the many curious features of
our Northwestern development there is
none apparently more anomalous than that
the wealth and energy which are contribu-
ting so much toward laying the foundations
of our permanent prosperity should come
from section which is popularity supposed
TO be lacking in both. We have with us
to- day the evidence of the falSity of the
popular opinion that the South is devoid of
means and thrift. The gentlemen who ac-
company the governor OF the ancient COM
monwealth of Virginia on his visit to our
carnival represent as much wealth, and are
themselves the embodiment of as much
enterprise, as can be found on an average
in congregation of a similar number of
gentlemen representing any city in the
Union. The new South comes to the
young Northwest with its best blood and
brain and energy to aid in building here the
seat of future empire on this continent.
We welcome them with open arms and in
vite them in and to take possession. The
city and fullness thereof is theirs during
their s0journ with US.

Iet the Girls, Bangs aIouc

Daisy Deane in Detroit Free Press
[ wonder why it is that every one-the
newspapers in particular. should be sc
down upon bangs? l have waited in
silent Indignation for some of my sister
women to speak up in defense of the style,
but, though they have chung to it tena.
ciously-nOne has dared TO lift up her voice
against public (masculine) opinion.
Now, | declare the fashion was both
sensible and becoming. though. of course,
like all other good things, capable of being
carried to an extreme. A young and
pretty girl was positively bewtching with
her fluffy or straight hair shading her
smooth brow; while to women not as
young as they would like to be, it was a
perfect boon to have the softening effect
of the dropping hair and the lines of the
forehead so prettily hidden.
1t must needs be young and pretty
face that looks well with the hair combed
smoothly back, while to the majority of
women the pompadour style gives an I'M
pleasantly bold look.
Besides, | can't for the life of me see
why women should not be allowed to comb
their hair as they please without such a
fuss being made over it. When men took
a notion to have their heads shaved as bald
as babys, displaying every bump, as if
thev had just come from a phrenOlo-
gist's, we all knew that it was ugly, yet
you did not hear us ranting about it in the
newspapers, or denying them religious
privileges on that account.
| suppose 1t doesn't matter SO much about
mems looks, only one likes fair play, eSpe-
cially in free country.

THE COMMERCIAL TAX.

In a somewhat ili-natured editorial arti-
Gle the Helena Independent protests
against the adjustment of the tax now in
posed upon commercial travellers doing
business in Montana. Bills are pending in
the Montana legislature providing for the
abolition of the tax, and through curl
ously mistaken idea of the situation, the
Independent clamots for their defeat The
truth of the matter is that the tax is an
onerous and unjust burden. AS matter
of revenue, the territory may have been
justified in imposing it when the territorial
resources were meager and the treasury in
chronic state of emptiness. But Montana
is now well able to make both ends meet
without exceptional effort, and an excuse
for the tax no longer exists Though
the Independent declares that Mon
tana business houses are mdepend-
ent OF all jobbing houses outside
of the territory. particularly so of st. Paul
ard Minneapolis, and further asserts that
such being the case, the abolition of the tax
would be discriminating against the terri
Orial merchants, a proper estimation of
the case would seem to point to directly
opposite conclusion. Montana merchants
find III st. Paul their chief depot of sup
plies. To 81. Paul they must come for the
renewing OF such stocks of goods as are not
of local manufacture If the travelling men
from ST. Paul business houses did not 90 to
them, they would lave to come TO the
cities. SUCH trip would necessarily be
attended with considerable expense, which
llp merchants Mbllid nott,rullV tal-. INN
eGcounL IN liking The prices OF thir wares.
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1887-01-24

The commercial travellers, however, save
the dealers and incidentally the consumers
this added expense. They come to the
business men with samples, prices
and the latest information about
the state of trade. The merchants
are thus enabled to give their orders just as
intelligently. and with no expense at all to
themselves, as if they had come to the city.
Instead then of being an injury, the travelling
men are direct benefit to the Montana
merchants. The expense.Of the houses in
thus meeting the convenience of the patrons
is already large. 1t should not be added to
by the addition of tax which has no prin-
ciple of justice to commend it.

went through the express car, taking all the
money and valuables in the safe, the
amount being estimated at from 81. 900 to
$4,000. although the Pacific Express
officials refuse to state the exact
amount stolen. The robbers then
proceeded to the mail car, where
they obtained twentv-eight registered pack

FITZHUGH LEE.

OF hOnOred name and hOnored lineage
and with a record full of chivalric deeds
FITZHUGH LEE receives the homage of an
admiring populace of the great Northwest
ern metropolis. But not for these alone do
our people pay tribute to the governor of
the Old Dominion. 1t is because he stands
before us as the best product of the New
South and one of the most illuStriouS repre-
sentatives of that new era Of progress and
development which is alone eclipsed by the
marvellous growth of our own Northwest.
Gov. LEE belongs to that class of Young
Southerners who accepted the situation in
good faith when his section surrendered to
the federal power He did not waste his
time in useless repinings and regrets over
the result, but set to work in a manly spirit
to rebuild the broken walls and to repair
the waste places of his section
and addressed himself to the work
of restoring a feeling of national
amity. His laudable labor has been re-
warded. He has seen his state rise from
its ruins and, rehabilitated with the gar
ments of progress, start forward on career
of greatness. He has seen the shadows Of
dispair that for so long time br0oded over
the PROSTATE South disappear, and the SUN
light of prosperity again dawns upon its
fair fields. The current of new life
courses the veins of the ancient common
wealth. it is instinct with terminating en-
ergy, its industries have been re-awakened,
the bow of hope once more spans its skies,
and all is joy and gladness within its
borders. AS the honored governor of his
commonwealth he comes among us to-day
to extend the hand of friendship and to tell
us that the animosties of the war are dead
forever. To this superb representative of
the New South the city of St. Paul opens
wide her gates of welcome.
